In many instances, one is not sure about a business or a shop running in the neighborhood is authorized or a fake. This may cause a severe damage to us or anyone associated with buying services from such establishment. These services may include anything right from selling household goods, services, hotels or eateries. It is possible that these businesses may be illegal and running without any proper license.

At times resident try and get information through the Right to Information Act, which could be a bit of lengthy process. Hence Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has come up with an initiative for the first time, which can help making this process a bit easy.
